How Was Your Day?

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Was it okay?
'Cause we haven't talked in a while
Forgotten how you used to smile
What do you look like?
Remember when we used to fight?
And I miss getting angry at you
'Cause I miss all the fuck ups we've had
'Cause even then you're the best I've had
Call me up late
Say it's okay
'Cause I'll be away for awhile
I can't remember your smile
You used to kiss me
Guess it's not hard to believe
That I miss getting angry at you
'Cause at least I felt something new
'Cause I miss all the fuck ups we've had
'Cause even then you're the best I've had
'Cause even when I'm miles away I know
You'll still want me as usual
But the thing that I know is that I wanna be with you
How was your day?
Was it okay?
'Cause we haven't asked in a while
Remember when we used to smile
You used to miss me
Guess it's not hard to believe
That things have to change like the weather and the days
But the thing that I know is that I wanna be with you
The song "How Was Your Day?" by beabadoobee is a melancholic track that reminisces about the nostalgia of the past in a relationship. The opening verse begins by exploring the distance between the two lovers, wondering how they have been since they last spoke. The song appears to touch upon the idea that sometimes distance can corrupt a relationship, and those once familiar expressions and gestures can be forgotten.
The repetition of the phrase "Guess it's not hard to believe, That I miss getting angry at you" emphasizes the longing for the intensity of the emotions from the past. The anger could be interpreted as passion, and with no fight left in the relationship, it has lost its spark.
The song concludes with the message that change is inevitable, but the feeling of wanting to be with someone still remains. "How Was Your Day?" could be likened to a bittersweet nostalgia that leaves a lingering emotional attachment to the past.
